To fill one: (1) turns the blindcap to fully extend the Snorkel tube from the feed; (2) pulls the blindcap back to fully extend the pump; (3) submerses the Snorkel tube in ink; then (4) depresses the blindcap back into the barrel with one smooth stroke. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: This PFM is an oversized pen with a thick girth and a capped length of 5 5\/16”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNib\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14k inlaid nib lays down a buttery smooth and consistent \u003cstrong\u003eF\u003c\/strong\u003e line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold-plated trim is virtually pristine with no brassing or other notable flaws.

The PFM has a thick barrel girth yet its section is ergonomically tapered, narrowing closer to the nib to fit the raccoon pawed and hamfisted alike. Other ergonomically innovative features include spring-loaded clip, clutched cap (like the Parker 51's), and Sheaffer's famous Rube Goldberg Snorkel filling system, which provides a clean fill even from the very bottom of the bottle since only the Snorkel tube needs to be submerged, not the nib or feed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penchantment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52965646008619,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5165\/3419\/files\/Sheaffer_PFM_III_Fountain_Pen_restored_vintage_flex_nib_superflex_wet_noodle_snorkel.jpg?v=1774629600","url":"https:\/\/penchantment.com\/products\/1960s-sheaffer-pfm-iii-fountain-pen","provider":"Penchantment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
